"The William J. Paugh House is a 1 V* story wood-frame private residence designed by architect Charles L. Parish in the Gothic Revival or Carpenter Gothic style of architecture. The house is situated on a gently sloping rectangular parcel (80' x 180') facing the north and bounded on the south by Pitt Street and on the north by State Highway 88 and Jackson Creek. The 1860 residence has a cruciform plan containing approximately 2,400 square feet of living space, not including a finished attic and a partial basement. Immediately to the east off the dining room is a modern detached kitchen. Further east, on the adjacent lot, is a circa 1890s Queen Anne residence, and across Pitt Street to the west is a circa 1854 Greek Revival residence, reportedly the earliest surviving residential home in Jackson. The William J. Paugh House is surrounded by contemporary brick and concrete walkways, planting beds, a lawn, and concrete patio with a modern wooden pergola. Today, the William J. Paugh House looks virtually identical to the 1859 rendering of the house executed by illustrators Charles and Arthur Nahl." (visit link)
